There’s more to life than just Golden Circle or South Coast bus tour memories shared with crowds. The ones you remember most happen when you experience what others don’t. Join our custom adventure in a genuine small group. Discover Reykjanes best hidden G-spots with us. We'll descend into a lava tube for about 2-2.5 hours. You'll not only learn about Iceland's genesis but feel like Indiana Jones spelunking through volcanic tunnels. We'll roam around the Icelandic version of the Loch Ness monster lake. Inhale sulfur rising from the bubbling earth at Krýsuvík, and drive past a ghost town abandoned to volcanic fate. See where lava nearly reached the Blue Lagoon, forcing hasty defensive barriers to be built. If skies allow, witness a steaming 800-year-old crater where vapor swirls like breath from the underworld. This experience is more active than regular sightseeing and invites you to move, explore, and foremost awaken that curious kid inside you. This isn't going to be a normal tour !

Like Ralph Waldo Emerson once said. Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Agenda is as simple as 2 + 2 first we’ll warm up hiking to our farthest destination, before descending into each cave we start with stretching, then exploration time and be ready for some squats, push-ups and more stretching ! More effort you put into these exercises more you’ll see and oh boy take our word for it, there is plenty to see ! Depending on your fit level we’ll see anywhere between 2 to 4 caves. So you’ll get some cardio/ work out day for sure. We do caving often and we know there is nothing better than warm bath after half a day spent underground in humid and cool environment but than again bath sounds sooo boring. Unless you are in Iceland where you can just simply submerge yourself in a natural hot geothermal stream... Found in a beautiful valley up in the mountains, enjoining tasty Icelandic style hot dog prepared with a help of hot springs!
